The Keysight VEE Sample Program Disk stores sample application programs using Keysight VEE and VXIplug&play drivers for the 4155/4156 and the E5250A. The sample programs can control the 4155/4156, Keysight E5250A low leakage switch mainframe, and the Summit series semi-auto prober from Cascade Microtech, Inc.
The following files are stored on the disk.

  • readme.txt
    This is a text file with a brief introduction of the sample programs, installation information, and so on.
  • sample1.vee and sample2.vee
    These are program files that are executable on Keysight VEE (HP VEE version 4.0 or later). Both programs control the 4155/4156, E5250A low leakage switch mainframe, and Cascade Summit series semi-auto prober, and do the following:
    1. Probe two MOSFETs on a die
    2. Measure Id-Vg characteristics of two MOSFETs
    3. Extract the threshold voltage (Vth value) for two MOSFETs
    4. Store the measured data into files, and display the results
  • sample.ppd
    This file is an example of data used to control the Summit series semi-auto prober from Cascade Microtech, Inc. The *.ppd files will be created and used by the prober control software (PCS) furnished with the prober or supplied from Cascade Microtech, Inc. The sample application programs require the *.ppd file and PCS to control the prober.

Installing the Sample Programs:
1. Make a working directory where you can install and execute the sample programs, using Windows Explorer.
2. Create a subdirectory in the working directory. The subdirectory will be used to save the measurement data files.
3.Copy all of the files to the working directory.

VXIplug&play Driver User’s Guide describes how to use these programs.
